Excerpt from Birkbeck and the Russian Church: Containing Essays and Articles by the Late W. J. Birkbeck, M.A., F. S. A., Written in the Years 1888-1915 (Being a Continuation of Russia and the English Church, Vol. I) Birkbeck originally intended to produce vol II, but as time Went on the intention seem ed to fade. I shall never write it, he used to say, and I do not know that he had even decided on its scope. Now that he has passed away his friends have no doubt that the collected essays on Russia and the Russian Church of the man who devoted his life to the cause of unity should form the second volume of Russia and the English Church. Birkbeck did more than anyone has ever done to bring the two Churches together; what he did he did wisely and with infinite patience, and his writings, with a few con-a necting and explanatory notes, form the best history of these ecclesiastical relations down to the beginning of the Great War.
